Civil rights aren’t culture wars, they’re constitutional guarantees. I’ll protect voting rights, bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ equality, and due process by enforcing the law. Cliff Bentz voted against core civil-rights protections. I’m running to defend them, without fear or favoritism. #CivilRights

Call your MAGA rep: Stop the Republican coverup. Release the Epstein files. #cliffbentz 202-225-6730

Also called Cliff Bentz at 202-225-6730. #cliffbentz #WeCanDoBetterOR2

Just called & got a busy signal. Will keep trying. open.substack.com/pub/chopwood...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If I’m elected, I will be the first woman with a science PhD ever elected to Congress. It’s time to listen to the science again.

Epstein survivors believe the Trump DoJ illegally released the names of survivors in an effort to intimidate them.

“As the Southern Regional Council of Carpenters, we have officially endorsed the campaign of Talarico for United States Senate.”

No Money for Murder. No Funding for Fascism. No Payouts for Pedophiles.

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors. youtu.be/uoU9Img_B40

Last July, I wrote a follow up to "Fascism and the English Language" specifically covering immigrant rights language. Concentration camps was correct then & is now. So too is not using "immigration" as qualifier for acts that are crimes. contrarian.substack.com/p/fascism-an...

Reminds me of James Talarico's plea to Gen Z. 'You may not care about politics, but politics cares a lot about you. Your boss, your landlord, your health care, your insurance company - they care about politics.' So yeah, guess who's represented in politics? www.swarthmore.edu/understandin...

"The paradox of tolerance. Why the Democratic/centrist fetishization of bipartisanship and norms, and their capitulation and "reaching across the aisle" have been so enervating and disastrous, and what we must now do instead." www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

Authoritarianism defined in eight words: "make sure we have the right people voting"

If you believe purpose of getting elected is to enact agenda - this doesn't work. But even if you believe purpose of getting elected is to do it again, it also doesn't in long term. Because you're moving voters (who are mainly low info) against what opposition says you support.

Reactionary centrist advice to Democrats boils down to one thing: avoid making the argument, about anything. Don't defend what was known as "the a-word" (abortion), promise to also "get tough on crime" aka don't speak out on injustice, hop on board xenophobic policies & rhetoric (Laken Riley).

We will never advance morally nor will Dems gain durable power electorally unless we actually MAKE THE ARGUMENT. And it's not hard: immigrants are great. Continuing to shit on or apologize for or insist only on mitigating evil against immigrants means we will never actually win.

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

This is so spot on

Legislation to force federal immigration agents to get court approval before entering schools and health care facilities cleared the Washington state Senate on Thursday. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/13/w...

There are two parties in this country: the Democratic Party and the Authoritarian Party.

Finally, a prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidate is explicitly articulating and amplifying FDR's long-forgotten warning. Finally. sirota.substack.com/p/aoc-amplif...

Good morning, #Cascadia! Snow pack is at record lows in the Cascades, ICE is looking to expand in Tukwila, tribes sue feds over Columbia and Snake dams, and a longtime Portland orchestra calls it quits: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

I’m just going to leave this here

#cliffbentz is like, "Cool!"

Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.

Republicans want you #sickerpoorerdumber houserepublicanpricehike.com?utm_source=s...

Trump carefully selects the world's most corrupt and morally depraved dealers for his deportation deals and then pays them lots of cash. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

POP shows Oregonians how to: Stop Trump's Secret Police. Get dark money & billionares out of our government. Keep right wing extremists out of our healthcare. #solutionpolitics Fight #project2025 mailchi.mp/195ac000b06a...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Hold power accountable: Protect Oregon’s Campaign Finance Reform. Write one here: act.commoncause.org/letters/stop...

Bentz hasn't said anything in regards to the horrific conditions of detainees. He has only said he advocates for a different approach. His silence is complicity.

This is an Oregon House Rep asking a DMV employee (and DMV union rep) abt the impacts of funding crisis. She tells a story abt what some customers do when she sees them at the service counter. Really shows the disconnect w some folks & effectiveness of Republican "no taxes ever" messaging. #orleg

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.
